Sgian Dubh

Providing ass-slappin' good times since 2004.

About Me

Sgian Dubh formed in late 2004 when Bruce, desiring to expand his musical horizons after years of garage band rock & roll, felt his Celtic heritage calling. He rounded up Ray from his old rock band The Ultrasonics; Susan, Mike, and Ted from Craigslist adverts; and Elaine from upstairs at his house, and the rest is history! We're currently working on getting Mike and Ted up to speed, but be sure to look for us at a pub near you very soon! And buy us a drink while you're out there!

Sgian Dubh T-shirts are now available at the Sgian Dubh website!! See the T-shirt as modeled by two of Sgian Dubh's resident vixens. This very T-shirt and many others just like it in men's sizes S-XL are available for purchase online or at any of our shows. Warning: wearing this T-shirt may suddenly turn you greyscale leaving only the shirt in vibrant color...
